Subject: Welcome to SecBSD 1.5!
|
|
|
|
This message attempts to describe the most basic initial questions that a
|
|
system administrator of an SecBSD box might have. You are urged to save
|
|
this message for later reference.
|
|
|
|
For more information on how to set up your SecBSD system, refer to the
|
|
"afterboot" man page (i.e. after you exit the mail subsystem, type
|
|
"man afterboot"). If you are not familiar with how to read man pages, type
|
|
"man man" at a shell prompt and read the entire thing. Pay specific
|
|
attention to the "man -k keyword" option, which will permit you to find the
|
|
man page you are looking for more easily; for instance, "man -k ethernet".
|
|
The GNU "info" subsystem is also installed with further documentation
|
|
resources: to read info pages type "info". (The info subsystem behaves like
|
|
the popular emacs editor.)
|
|
|
|
Again, PLEASE READ THE MANUAL PAGES. OpenBSD developers have spent countless
|
|
hours improving them so that they are clear and precise.
|
|
|
|
Several popular binary packages (pre-compiled applications) are
|
|
available from mirror sites. Mirror selection is usually automatic
|
|
during install/upgrade -- a mirror URL from https://www.secbsd.org/mirrors.html
|
|
is stored into the file /etc/installurl. Installation of packages is
|
|
as simple as:
|
|
|
|
# pkg_add -v metasploit
|
|
|
|
Significant efforts were made to centralize all system configuration in the
|
|
/etc directory. You should be able to find each of the configuration files
|
|
you seek there, lightly documented. In particular, much of the configuration
|
|
has been centralized in the file /etc/rc.conf. You should not need to ever
|
|
edit the file /etc/rc. The files /etc/rc.securelevel and /etc/rc.local exist
|
|
for this purpose; the first is run before the system has gone into secure
|
|
mode; the second is run afterwards (if in doubt, add your tools to rc.local).
|
|
|
|
Please refer to our web pages for any other questions you might have.

SecBSD is free software. You can do with it as you like, subject to very few
|
|
conditions (described at www.SecBSD.org/policy.html). But free software isn't
|
|
written without money. Network links, hardware costs, release engineering and
|
|
testing work all take money and significant effort on the part of those who
|
|
have made this SecBSD release what it is. Please reward the developers who
|
|
have made SecBSD what it is, and thus make it possible for this wonderful
|
|
process to continue. For more information on how you can help, please see
|
|
www.SecBSD.org/sponsors.html to see a list of those who have donated
|
|
list of those who have donated money, equipment, or other resources to ensure
|
|
money, equipment, or other resources to ensure SecBSD continues.
